Hi everyone, its great to have such an outlet to express opinions. I am a Director with a noted motoring club in Edmonton, AB. Due to the fact that I sit most of the day- I am a Director and I know I do nothing- I have developed severe hemmorhoids. I have tried to get up every hour or two and walk but nothing seems to help. I have used all the usual suspected medications- Prep H etc., but still I have a throbbing pain that does not go away. Does anyone think that surgery is my only option? My employees say I am an old "pain in the ass" but this really is not funny if you are suffering.
